Brawler's Guild Guide (WoD 6.1)

The Brawler's Guild is a faction that will test your solo skills against 52
opponents, which you will have to defeat in a predefined order. Our goal with
this guide is to give you all the information you need in order to defeat
all these opponents and to earn all the
achievements and rewards.

To help you get started, we made a short introductory video that explains
the basics.

In order the join the Brawler's Guild, you will need a
Blood-Soaked Invitation, which you can get from the Black Market
Auction House or from select enemy NPCs. You can also join the Brawler's
Guild by using a Brawler's Pass (Alliance / Horde), which is given to players as a reward
for having defeated 12 of the 52 Brawler's Guild opponents.

The Alliance arena is located within the Deeprun Tram in Stormwind City
(see at 01:23 in the above video).

The Horde arena is located in the north-eastern building of the Valley
of Honor in Orgrimmar (see at 00:39 in the above video).

As you can see in the video, both Brawler's Guild locations are instanced
(i.e., you need to enter a portal to access it). We currently do not know
whether there can be multiple instances of each location, as there are never
enough players to warrant it on the PTR.

At each Brawler's Guild location, there is only one combat ring (for
which players queue). This means that, at peak hours, you may have to
queue for a long time before being able to play.

As we said in the introduction, you will have to defeat a total of 52
opponents. To start a fight, simply talk to one of the NPCs in the corner of
the arena and ask to queue for a fight. While waiting for your turn, you can
watch other players fight, but will not be to interact with their fight in any
meaningful way. When your turn will come, you will be teleported inside the
arena and, after a few seconds, your opponent will appear.

To help you save money on potions, the Brawler's Guild quartermaster
of your faction will sell you potions equivalent to the usual level
100 potions. 5 of each of these potions only cost 1
20 (accounting for the faction reputation discount
with Darnassus or Undercity) but cannot be
used anywhere else than in the Brawler's Guild arena. These potions
are: Brawler's Healing Tonic, Brawler's Draenic Agility Potion,
Brawler's Draenic Intellect Potion, and Brawler's Draenic Strength Potion.
There are more expensive equivalent of these potions that do not get consumed
on use and that are sold by the same vendor, but we believe that you are better off
using the cheaper potions.

The 52 opponents are organised in:

7 groups of 4 regular bosses;

1 group of 12 special bosses accessible after defeating all the regular bosses;

1 group of 12 special bosses that need to be unlocked by completing specific quests.

3.1. Regular Bosses: Ranks 1 to 7

Regular bosses are the main matter of the Brawler's Guild.
You will fight them in a predefined order of increasing difficulty.
Each time you defeat the four opponents of a group,
you increase your Brawler's Guild rank and unlock the next group of
opponents. Some ranks grant you new rewards or
achievements when you reach them.

Technically, a Brawler's Guild rank is like a reputation that has goes from
0 to 1000. It will appear in the reputation window of your character pane.
Every time you win a fight, you increase your reputation by 250, which means
that after 4 fights, you reach a new reputation level (or rank).

Gear is not scaled down (as it is in Challenge Modes)
when entering a Brawler's Guild fight, which means that fights get easier
as your gear gets better.

The opponents are listed below. As we publish new opponent guides, we will
update this table to add the links.

3.2. Challenge Cards

Each Brawler's Guild boss has a corresponding Challenge Card, which can be purchased from
Card Trader Leila at the Stormwind Brawler's Guild Arena if you play Alliance
or from Card Trader Amia at the Orgrimmar Brawler's Guild Arena if you play Horde.

If you queue for a Brawler's Guild fight with a Challenge Card in your inventory
(you can only possess one such card at a given time), then you will get to fight
the boss that corresponds to the card.

For regular bosses, these cards are unlocked after you defeat the corresponding boss,
enabling you to fight that boss again whenever you want.

For special bosses, these cards are unlocked after reaching a specific Brawler's
Guild rank or completing a specific quest.

Each Challenge Card has a rank mention on it, which seems to indicate the
difficulty of the fight (very useful for special bosses).

3.3. Special Bosses: Unlocked by Reaching Rank 7

There are 12 Special Bosses that you unlock as you reach the appropriate
Brawler's Guild rank for them (Rank 1 for Vishas, Rank 2 for Crush, etc.).
To fight one, simply buy their challenge card and queue with it in your inventory.

To unlock each of these bosses, you will need to complete a small quest
line, which is started by a specific quest item. Each quest item has a different
source. In the table below, you will find the quest item needed
for each of the special bosses. We will update the table as we learn more
about the source of each quest item.

7 of the achievements will be earned as you progress through
the ranks: The First Rule of Brawler's Guild (Alliance / Horde),
You Are Not Your $#*@! Legplates (Alliance / Horde), The Second Rule of Brawler's Guild (Alliance / Horde),
Brawlin' and Shot Callin' (Alliance / Horde), and Now You're Just Showing Off (Alliance / Horde)

Collect Your Deck (Alliance / Horde) requires you to complete all the introductory
quest lines to the 12 special quest bosses. Deck Your Collection (Alliance / Horde)
requires you to defeat all these bosses.

Bottle Service requires you to hit an angry spectator (NPCs that will
sometimes turn hostile after you defeated their champion) in the head with
an Expired Blackout Brew. This expired beverage costs 1 and
is sold to Alliance players by Lidiya Peyton (located in the
Stormwind Brawler's Guild Arena) and to Horde players by
Esme Sunshadow (located in the Orgrimmar Brawler's Guild Arena).

Rabble Rabble Rabble (Alliance / Horde) requires you to take Zippi Gallox's portal to
Stormwind, if you play Horde, or to take Willard "Bubbles" Wilcox's portal
to Orgrimmar, if you play Alliance. Zippi can be found at the Orgrimmar
Brawler's Guild Arena, while Willard can be found at the Stormwind Brawler's
Guild Arena. For the portal of your faction to open, you need to have 20 people
or more currently in queue for the Brawler's Guild.
